Chapter 775 Trapping 【Gold-Eating Beast】
Zhou Yang couldn't be more satisfied with the news of one kind of spiritual thing and another kind of spiritual thing obtained in one transaction.
The news that "Sky Snake Master" Xu Hanwen told him was about the sixth-order 【Gold-Eating Beast】.
The Beastmaster Sect was originally famous for driving all kinds of monsters, and the information they collected on the distribution of various monsters was naturally much more detailed than other forces.
According to what Xu Hanwen said, in a giant gold concentrate vein in the wild jungle, there is a sixth-level [gold-eating beast] hiding.
The Beast Master Sect had also planned on that [Gold-Eating Beast], but that [Gold-Eating Beast] was very cunning, and would never leave the underground mine no matter what.
And in the underground mine veins full of golden energy, even the late Nascent Soul monks would have difficulty catching this strange beast who was naturally proficient in the art of golden escape.
Xu Hanwen told Zhou Yang about the [Gold-eating Beast], which actually harmed the interests of the Beast Sect.
However, as a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage, as long as he didn't commit a major crime of treason, no one in the Beast Sect could judge him, so he didn't care about it.
After learning about the 【Gold-Eating Beast】, Zhou Yang immediately prepared for the trip to the wilderness.
He spent three years collecting materials, and asked Taoist Lan to help him refine a set of Qimen Magic Formation [Eight Gates Sealing Gold Formation], which was specially used to seal the [Gold Eater]'s golden escape technique.
After the magic circle was refined, he took Taoist Lan to the wild jungle, looking for the hiding place of the [gold-eating beast].
With the map reference guide provided by Xu Hanwen, Zhou Yang found the target without much effort.
But just like the [Gold-Eating Beast] who was unable to hide in the mine veins of the Beast Master Sect, it was impossible for Zhou Yang to go down into the underground mine veins to kill demons.
So if he wants to kill the demon and seize the pill, he must first lure the [gold-eating beast] out of the underground mine vein.
Xu Hanwen said that the [Gold-Eating Beast] would not leave the underground mines, it was because their Beast Control Sect didn't find the right method, or the bait they cast was not tasty enough.
The sixth-order [gold-eating beast] has widened its intelligence, and its instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages has been greatly enhanced. It is very clear about its own advantages, so it does not have a compelling reason to leave, it will never leave the ground of the vein.
But even a high-level immortal cultivator, sometimes in order to seek breakthroughs and advance further, will know the dangers, and have to take the initiative to go to those dangerous places where they are close to death to seize opportunities.
Sometimes, intelligent creatures are more difficult to withstand certain temptations than ordinary beasts.
The sixth-order [gold-eating beast] hides in this giant gold concentrate vein, simply because the rich gold gas here is of great benefit to its growth and evolution, and it doesn't need to worry about food at all here.
But for the [Gold Eater], which is already a sixth-level monster, to grow by absorbing the gold energy in the mine veins, the growth rate is really pitifully slow.
It is very likely that when its lifespan is exhausted, it will not see the slightest chance to move towards the seventh level.
And [gold-eating beast] the easiest and fastest way for a beast like this to grow quickly is to devour those rare and rare high-level spirit gold.
Zhou Yang happens to have a piece of [Tianwai Meteorite Gold] that is very helpful for the growth and evolution of the sixth-order [Gold Eater] in Zhou Yang's hand.
When he got this large piece of [Meteorite Gold], he wanted to use it to refine a set of sixth-level flying swords, but because his refining technique had just broken through to the sixth level, he was not sure that he could make it once. Success, there is no rush to use this thing.
Unexpectedly, this piece of [Tianwai Meteorite], which was unintentionally planted, could be used in another way today.
At this time, after Zhou Yang and Taoist Lan flew around the giant fine gold vein, they stopped over a valley in a basin.
"This is the place. This valley is rich in earth energy, mixed with metal energy, and balanced with water and wood energy, but lacks fire energy. The [Eight Gates Sealing Gold Formation] is arranged here to avoid being discovered by the [Gold-Eating Beast] to the greatest extent, because The existence of gold energy will not make it too scrupulous and stagnant."
Taoist Lan flew around the valley, cast a few small spells to survey the ground, and then expressed his opinion to Zhou Yang.
"Then I'm going to trouble Fellow Daoist Lan."
Zhou Yang nodded slightly and agreed directly.
Next, Daoist Lan took out the prepared formations, formation plates and other formation equipment, and set up the formation centered on this valley basin with an area of less than a hundred miles. Zhou Yang patrolled outside to watch out for his protection.
After Lan Taoist arranged the formation, Zhou Yang released the witch Huan Qianqian who was practicing in the [Dongxuan Orb], and gave her the huge piece of [Tianwai Meteorite], and asked her to follow the plan act.
According to the plan, Zhou Yang and Taoist Lan will hide in the [Dongxuan Orb], and then an incarnation who is good at hiding and invisibility will carry the orb and hide in the forest in the basin, until the [Gold-eating Beast] is attracted by the [Meteorite Gold] After entering the basin, he suddenly launched a formation to trap him and kill him quickly.
At this time, after seeing Huan Qianqian take [Tianwai Meteorite] straight to Qingming according to the plan, Zhou Yang and Taoist Lan also quickly acted according to the plan.
Not long after, Huanqianqian flew to the Qingming sky near the height of nine thousand feet, then aimed at the direction, and directly threw the piece of [Meteorite Gold] down.
Rumble!
The ear-piercing roar and muffled sound resounded through the sky, and a meteor-like silver-gray ore rubbed against the air to emit a strong flame, and quickly fell towards the earth.
The scene of meteors flying and falling in the daytime can be clearly seen by the creatures within thousands of miles as long as they look up at the sky.
Not long after, the meteor fell to the ground, and the powerful impact caused the ground to shake violently for thousands of miles. Countless birds and beasts were blown out of their hearts by the powerful impact, and all the lucky survivors screamed and roared. Run outside.
This huge movement instantly awakened a sleeping existence in the underground thousands of miles away.
It was a giant golden beast that was twenty or thirty feet long and shaped like a pangolin.
After it was awakened by the tremor of the earth, it immediately stood up from its perching cave with frightened eyes, and let out a sharp hissing sound from its mouth.
Not long after, a hedgehog-like monster covered with golden needles appeared in the cave, neighing and explaining something to it in a low voice.
It can be clearly seen that the eyes of the giant golden beast who heard the report from the subordinate monsters are obviously interested.
Then it stared at the hedgehog-like monster for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the subordinate's short leg with its claws from below, and directly carried the subordinate and left the cave, heading for the source of the earthquake that caused the earthquake.
The golden behemoth fled extremely fast, and it didn't take long before it arrived outside the basin valley where the meteor fell that day.
I saw the basin valley at this time, because of the meteor falling that day, the surrounding mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and a huge deep pit with a diameter of hundreds of feet appeared in the center of the basin. The spring water gushing from the depths of the earth.
And in the induction of the golden giant beast, at the bottom of the deep pit covered by spring water, a stream of pure and powerful golden energy, as bright and eye-catching as lights in the dark night, a desire from the depths of the blood, It couldn't stop wanting to go deep into the puddle to find out.
But it can grow into a sixth-order monster, so naturally it can't even restrain this instinctive desire.
After watching it from a distance for a while, it loosened its claws, and threw down the hedgehog monster he had brought, and asked it to help him salvage the thing that attracted him from the puddle.
The hedgehog monster itself is also a fifth-order middle-grade monster, which can fly with the demon cloud.
It didn't dare to disobey its master's order, and quickly flew into the basin with the demon cloud, and plunged into the puddle.
After a while, the hedgehog monster grabbed the silver-gray ore buried deep in the ground and flew out of the puddle, happily flying towards its owner.
As a metallic monster, it can also feel the pure gold energy contained in the silver-gray ore in its hand, and knows that if it dedicates this object to its master, it will definitely receive a great reward from the master.
And in the sky outside the basin, after seeing the silver-gray ore brought out by the hedgehog monster from a distance, the golden monster also widened its eyes excitedly, and let out a hasty hissing sound, urging its subordinates to bring the things over quickly.
But at this moment, a beautiful figure in white suddenly shot from the other side of the valley basin, caught up with the hedgehog monster in the blink of an eye, and then used a black long awl magic weapon to kill the hedgehog monster in front of the golden monster. The beast was crucified in mid-air, and took the silver-gray ore away.
Seeing that the treasure that was about to be obtained was suddenly cut off halfway, one can imagine how intense the anger in the golden giant's heart was.
If it hadn't seen the silver-gray ore, perhaps it wouldn't be so angry.
But now that he has seen that piece of silver-gray ore and understood the importance of it to him, how can he endure such a treasure being taken away in front of his eyes.
With a flash of golden light, the figure of the golden giant [Gold Eater] disappeared from the sky in an instant, and when it reappeared, it was already about ten feet away behind the witch Huan Qianqian.
Then with a slap of its animal claws, the witch in the sky dispersed like a bubble, but it turned out to be just a phantom clone.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of [Gold Eater] made it extremely angry.
It roared wildly, the golden light in its pupils flickered, swept around, and soon found the real body of the witch, and then turned into a golden ray of light again without thinking about it and rushed towards it.
At this time, the 【Gold-Eating Beast】had long since lost its previous caution, and only wanted to tear the human female cultivator who robbed her of the opportunity to evolve into pieces.
At this time, the incarnation of Zhou Yang, who was hiding in the dark, directly activated the [Eight Gates Sealing Golden Formation] with a direct pinch of the formula.
Rumble!
The earth roared and shook, and a strong white light rose rapidly from the ground of the basin and the surrounding peaks, covering the entire basin at once.
This sudden shock also shocked the 【Gold Eater】 that rushed into the basin.
It suddenly realized something, didn't care about going to trouble with the witch Huanqianqian, roared and was about to use the talent golden escape technique to escape from the basin.
But after it displayed its supernatural power of escapism, it did not escape for thousands of miles as usual, but was forced out of the state of escaping light after barely escaping a hundred feet.
This situation made it startled and frightened, its eyes full of mania, roared and flew directly into the air to launch a sprint to the outside of the basin.
But just as it rushed out for more than ten miles, it was knocked back by a large bright yellow seal.
Zhou Yang, who was hiding in the [Dongxuanzhu], appeared together with Taoist Lan, joined hands with the incarnation outside the body and the witch Huan Qianqian, and directly launched a fierce attack on the [Gold Eater].
Naturally, there will be no suspense in this battle of completely unequal strength and numbers.
After the [Gold Eater] was introduced into the valley basin, its fate was already doomed.
The entire battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and Zhou Yang directly used the [Canglong Rifting Slash] to cut off the head of [Gold-Eating Beast], and died so badly.
After beheading the [Gold-Eating Beast], Zhou Yang immediately took out its demon pill.
So far, he has obtained three of the five substitute spirits given by Daoist Lan, and only the two attributes of wood and fire have not yet been found.
Of course, the valuable things on [Gold-Eating Beast] are not only demon pills, its corpse is also a priceless spiritual thing.
This kind of strange beast lives by devouring spiritual gold, and its body has already been metalized. When they were alive, those flesh and blood bones still had the characteristics of flesh and blood creatures. When they died, the vitality in the corpse dissipated, leaving only pure gold gas thing.
After Zhou Yang took the demon pill, he set up a stove on the spot, put all the spiritual gold transformed from the flesh and bones of the [Gold-eating Beast] into the cauldron, refined and removed the impurities with [Qianyang True Fire], and finally got a piece of The sixth-order spirit gold [blood pattern fine gold] weighing a thousand catties.
Such a large piece of sixth-order spirit gold is very rare in the world of cultivating immortals.
In fact, it is precisely because the [Gold-Eating Beast] can be used in such a way that the former immortal cultivators hunted and killed this beast, so that it is very difficult to find a low-level [Gold-eating Beast]. Not to mention the sixth-order [Gold Eater].
With such a large piece of sixth-order spirit gold, plus the [Tianwai Meteorite Gold] that he already had, Zhou Yang felt that he could start the sword refining plan after returning.
But before going back, he had to try to find the lair of the [Gold Eater].
In the lairs of such high-level monsters, there are usually good spirits, and many high-level monsters will put the rare treasures they have collected in their lairs as collections.
It's a pity that he didn't get his wish this time.
[Gold-eater Beast]'s lair is located deep in the underground vein, and this giant gold concentrate vein is rich in gold gas, which not only conceals the breath of [Gold-Eater Beast], but also repels all other non-metallic magical powers.
Although Zhou Yang also has metal spiritual roots, he has never mastered the technique of golden escape. It is not so difficult to find the lair of the [gold-eating beast] in this environment.
And he didn't have much time to spend on it.
So he could only write down the location of this giant gold concentrate vein, and prepared to hand over the map to the Zhou family when he returned. In the future, if some of the younger disciples of the Zhou family mastered the technique of golden escape, they could come here to try their luck.
